The duty on iron and steel imports
for the wear 1885 amounted to 81 49,
JOB. The duty on the same articles for
1856 was SIS, .233. The amount Of
iron and steel imports was one-third
greater. and the amount of duties paid
under the tariff was increased in about
the same proportion.
This increase i'm the amount Of iron
and steel imported from Europe was
caused by the enormous activity OF tina
steel and iron trade in this country.
The American demand for iron and
steel caused sharp advance in the
price of both articles. and exceeded
the supply furnished by American fur
naces and mills. Owing to the in
crease in the price of American iron
and steel. foreigners were enabled to
import these articles and to pay tha
duty on them, and sell them at a price
but little above the American market
price. This caused increased inn
portation, increased revenues and an
increased surplus.
Now. suppose that the tariff should
be so amended as to knock off one
half, or even one-third. of the import
duty on iron and steel. Instead of
increasing imports by one-third. i'm
ports would be doubled. treblcd or
quadrupled. With the reduced rate OF
duty. a vastly increased revenue would
be the result, and the surplus would
overflow the Federal treasury.

plus and kindred subjects. study lew

ThrOvvn From the THIRD story

BALTIMORE, Nov. "A coal oil
stove exploded in a house on Washing
ton street to-day. An alarm of fire was
sounded and a crowd collected in front
of the house. Mrs. Barbara Vogel,
with her two children, aged respective
ly two and four years. occupied the third
floor of the house. When the engines
arrived the woman was in bed with
her children. She became frantic with
fright, and rushing to the window,
threw up the sash; then clasped her
little ones in her arms, she ran to the
window and kissed them passionately
as the .astoniShed crowd stood below
gazing at her wild actions. Finally
with a quick movement, she threw
them, one after another, as far out from
the building as her strength would allow
and they plunged headlong through
the air a distance of thirty-fVe feet.
The horror-stricken spectators shud-
dered, but a couple of gentlemen
rushed forward and caught the children
ere they reached the pavement. The
frantic mother then climbed upon the
sill and was preparing to precipitate
herself from the window, when the
spectators shouted to her to deSiSt.
Their cries caused her pause for mo-
ment, and those below took advantage
of the opportunity to call to her that
there was no danger, as the fire was
out. She finally seemed to collect her
senses and retired from the window.
Singular to say, the children were none
the worse for their flight through the
air and it's sudden arrest. Had it not
been for the promptness and GOODNESS of
their preserverS, or had their weight
been so heavy as to prevent the rescu-
ers from holding them, they would GER
tain]y have been killed. The mother
received back her children after the
excitement had subsidized with extrava-
giant manifestations of delight,

ryDho,d Fever tn 1ndiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. typhoid fe-
yer is alarmingly prevalent in Indiana
and it does not seem to be confined to
any particular locality. The state
health board received word that there
were forty or fifty cases in the little
town of Milton. Wayne county, and
sent doctor to investigate the matter.
In Milton there are only surface wells.
few of them deeper than twenty-five
feet, and the people have become so
alarmed that they are boiling water be-
fore they drink it. In Elkhart twenty
eight cases of typhoid fever were re-
ported during the last quarter. There
are many cases in johnson and Nor
gan counties, and in nearly every part
of the state. The physicians think
that it is largely due to impure water,
as the long continued drouth of last
summer caused the pure water supply
to fall short. The wells have gone dry
in many cases and down in the ''Pock-
ct, - especially in Warrack county, the
people are paying twenty-five and
thirty cents per barrel for water for
domestic purposes. In Indianapolis
typhoid fever is more prevalent than
usual.
